This week will see a flurry of activity on these (excellent) boards. Sorry the upgrade didn't go as planned, BTW. One way to make things work reasonable well is to temporarilty disable non-OS X boards for the first week or so after the release and let you server(s) concentrate on the MacOS X traffic.

Just my $0.02.

Uh... no.

There are plenty of people here that do nothing but The Lounge, an dthey would get pissed off.

I personally wouldn't care, although going to other forums and talking about something OTHER than how people are in denial that 4k78 in GM is rather comforting...

Anyhow, I think that the boards will be almost unusably slow come Saturday.

Well, I feel exactly the opposite of jclarkv.
I think we should shut down all the OSX forums, for now.
There are a lot more of us that don't have it and aren't interested in it!

Keep your two cents.

This realy falls under my "If I could find a venture capitalist..." new business ideas, but does anyone offer a service that will lease temporary server capacity and bandwidth for event-related sites?

If so, you could set up temporary mirrors for MacWorld, big software releases like OSX and stuff like that and then not have to invest in server farms that would go unused 80% of the time.
I can see how a service like this would work for the Superbowl, the Oscars, The Olympics and other big events that need bandwidth and servers for a month or so and that's really it.
